The children of the corn boxset - because I've only ever seen the first one so I bought the next two. I can't seem to find the other four though

Kitano's Zatoichi R3 double disc - DTS audio track, better print than the standard R2, the usual shtick.

Cheap too.

Does it include the original version I saw at the theatre? Before they recut it to keep people from throwing sodas at the screen? (Yuck, what a mess.)

I actually threw my soda at the screen once, in my reckless youth (okay, I was nineteen, not that young). It was at the end of Jim Cameron's The Abyss, when the big thingie surfaces, miraculously saving everybody, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio's character meets Ed Harris in the center of the bright sunshiny day and says, "We should all be dead." That was the point that I stood up, shouted, "Yeah, you should be!" and lobbed my soda at the screen like a concession stand Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Then my friends and I stormed out of the theater, muttering about hours of our lives we'd never get back. This would have been more impressive an act if there were more people in the theater at the time. Besides the three of us there was one couple at the back of the theater, and I think my antics only woke them up or briefly halted their make-out session.


ANYway...

You know, I haven't even watched it yet. It's definitely my least favorite of the series so I was hoping that since I haven't watched it in years I may be able to find some redeeming quality that I simply missed in my youth.

Couple that with the fact that it was sitting in a large crate at the grocery store, accompanied by a quantity of similar horror genre failures, with a $4.99 price tag.

How can I lose in this deal, says I to myself. I shall one day soon let you know how I answer.

American Gangster Oscar Screener

Forest Gamp.. I just love this movie..

Poltergeist (25th Anniversary Edition)
Stephen King's Desperation
